Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement Surgery | First In Melaka & Negeri Sembilan

Living with chronic knee pain can make even simple daily activities difficult from walking, climbing stairs, standing for long periods, to enjoying time with your loved ones.

At Mahkota Medical Centre, we offer the latest generation VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement System, designed to support our orthopaedic surgeons in performing total knee replacement surgery with greater precision, personalised planning, and improved implant positioning.

As the first hospital in Melaka & Negeri Sembilan to introduce this advanced robotic-assisted knee replacement technology, Mahkota Medical Centre continues to redefine orthopaedic care by combining clinical expertise, advanced technology, and patient-centred treatment.

The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution uses advanced imaging, infrared cameras, optical trackers, and digital tools to support surgeons during total knee replacement surgery.

During the procedure, the system assists by:

• Providing real-time data and insights to support surgical decision-making
• Analysing the patient’s unique knee anatomy
• Helping surgeons remove damaged bone with greater accuracy
• Supporting precise knee implant positioning and alignment
• Allowing treatment to be tailored according to each patient’s individual anatomy

This technology helps surgeons make informed adjustments during surgery, supporting a more personalised and precise knee replacement procedure.

Both traditional and robotic-assisted knee replacement surgeries are performed by trained orthopaedic surgeons. The key difference lies in the level of digital support and real-time guidance available during the procedure.

Traditional Knee Replacement

• Performed using conventional surgical instruments and planning
• Implant positioning is based on standard surgical planning
• Effective treatment option for many patients
• Recovery varies depending on patient condition

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

• Performed with robotic-assisted guidance and real-time data
• Implant positioning can be tailored to the patient’s knee anatomy
• Support greater precision and personalised alignment
• Support reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved mobility

Robotic-assisted knee replacement may be especially beneficial for patients who require greater surgical precision, personalised implant positioning, and a treatment approach tailored to their knee structure.

Robotic-assisted technology may offer several potential advantages, including:

• Improved implant positioning and alignment
• Enhanced range of motion after surgery
• Reduced post-operative pain
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
• More personalised treatment based on each patient’s anatomy
• Improved confidence in movement and daily activities
• Better support for long-term knee function

Individual outcomes may vary depending on each patient’s condition, age, overall health, severity of knee damage, and rehabilitation progress.

Robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgery may be suitable for patients who experience persistent or severe knee pain that affects their daily life.

You may benefit from an orthopaedic consultation if you experience:

• Long-term knee pain that does not improve with medication or physiotherapy
• Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
• Knee stiffness, swelling, or reduced range of motion
• Knee pain caused by osteoarthritis or joint degeneration
• Pain that affects sleep, work, or daily activities
• Reduced mobility that affects your quality of life
• Previous non-surgical treatments that are no longer effective

A consultation with an orthopaedic specialist is important to determine whether robotic-assisted knee replacement is suitable for your condition.

Total knee replacement surgery may be recommended when the knee joint is severely damaged and non-surgical treatments are no longer effective.

Common conditions include:

• Knee osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Post-traumatic arthritis
• Severe knee joint degeneration
• Knee deformity caused by long-term joint damage
• Chronic knee pain affecting movement and daily function

Early diagnosis and proper treatment planning can help patients manage pain, improve mobility, and make informed decisions about their knee health.

Before Surgery

Before recommending surgery, your orthopaedic specialist will assess your knee condition, medical history, pain level, mobility, and overall health.

You may require:

• Physical examination
• X-ray or imaging assessment
• Review of your symptoms and activity level
• Discussion of non-surgical and surgical treatment options
• Personalised surgical planning based on your condition

Your doctor will explain whether robotic-assisted knee replacement is suitable for you and what you can expect from the procedure.

During Surgery

During robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgery, the orthopaedic surgeon uses the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted System as a guidance tool.

The system provides real-time data to help the surgeon assess your knee anatomy, remove damaged bone accurately, and position the knee implant precisely.

The surgeon remains fully in control throughout the entire procedure.

After Surgery

After surgery, your recovery will be supported by a multidisciplinary care team, including doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists.

Your recovery journey may include:

• Pain management
• Early mobilisation
• Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
• Walking support and movement exercises
• Follow-up consultations with your orthopaedic specialist

Recovery time varies for each patient. Your doctor and physiotherapy team will guide you based on your progress and overall condition.

Recovery after knee replacement surgery depends on several factors, including your age, overall health, knee condition before surgery, and commitment to rehabilitation.

With robotic-assisted technology, some patients may experience reduced post-operative pain, improved mobility, and faster recovery. However, individual results may vary.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in helping patients regain strength, improve flexibility, and return to daily activities safely.

Your care team will guide you through each stage of recovery, from hospital stay to home care and follow-up visits.

At Mahkota Medical Centre, we bring together experienced orthopaedic specialists, advanced robotic-assisted technology, and comprehensive patient care to support better treatment outcomes.
